Chapter Twenty-Three: Red Fire

"Uncle Liu, catch a bird for me, you see how beautiful that bird is, isn't it a thrush?" I didn't expect this Zhao Haoyu to be as solid as a hairy child, and after getting acquainted with Liu Junhao, he kept asking for this and that, but he didn't see a few colorful daredevil birds on the lotus tree, so he was interested, and he had to ask Liu Junhao to catch a few for him.

"It's not a thrush, it's a daredevil, the meat is bitter, it's not delicious at all, why catch it?" This bird belongs to the type that is particularly silly. However, no one catches it in rural areas, mainly because the meat of the daredevil's bird is not delicious, perhaps because it often eats lotus seeds, and even the meat is hard.

"I have a good look, and when I go home, I will bring a few with me, so that my classmates can see it" The little guy still didn't give up, and he had to ask Liu Junhao to catch birds for him.

"Okay, okay, as long as you promise me not to ride a goat again," perhaps the boy is born with a love of conquest, and the little one has a soft spot for riding goats, and has to walk around every day. When the goat saw this guy, he hid in the sheepfold and couldn't come out when he was killed, so he was afraid of him.

"Well, I promise you," the little guy hurriedly nodded.

Liu Junhao saw that he agreed simply, and he didn't care, he quickly dug a few teacup-sized round holes in the flat ground in front of the courtyard, the hole body was about twenty centimeters, and then turned out a handful of old corn kernels from the house and sprinkled them around the round hole, of course, mainly throwing them into the round hole.

"Xiao Hao, what are you doing here?" Professor Zhao was also very curious when he saw him doing this, and couldn't help but ask.

"Catch a daredevil's bird for Xiaoyu." Liu Junhao pouted his ass and continued to dig a round hole.

"Can you catch birds without netting?" Professor Zhao was a little skeptical, could it be that if you dig two holes in the ground, the little bird will fly down and not move, and let you catch it?

"You old man, just wait and see, see how I can catch birds for you today without using a net" After speaking, he bombarded two small and one large three people into the house, and then he also entered the house to cover the door, and several people gathered by the window to secretly watch the movement in the yard.

At first, the yard was still quiet, and after a while, a dozen or so dared-off birds flew down from the lotus seed tree, and caught corn kernels in the ground until they reached a few round holes.

Then Professor Zhao was stunned, only to see the daredevil bird stretch his head downward, trying to catch the corn kernels in the round hole, but he was top-heavy, and plunged into the round hole, and his two paws were horizontally in the void, unable to reach the sky or the ground, and his wings could not be spread at all because they were restrained by the round hole.

What's more, the daredevils next to them seemed to be undecided, and continued to stick their heads into the round hole one by one until the round hole was completely filled.

"Alright, now it's time to get out." Liu Junhao said and opened the door of the hall, carrying an iron cage to pick up the daredevil birds, like pulling a turnip, stretching out his hand one by one.

The daredevils were fist-sized, and they were a little warm to the touch.

"That's it, this bird is too stupid, isn't it?" Professor Zhao was still a little incredulous.

"Otherwise, the only way to catch this stupid bird is to catch this stupid bird, and the other birds are clever, and if it snows in winter, you can catch turtle doves," he said with a slight hint of relief.

The two little ones immediately began to divide the daredevil birds, and then ran to the back to catch grasshoppers and feed the birds, and they were mainly for fun.

Zhao Weihong didn't expect that his post would have such a big impact on the eighteenth floor, and the next day, the replies on the top were almost three thousand, and most of those replies were with envy.

She works in the city Unicom branch, and when she goes to work, a few good little sisters can't help but come to her place to ask if the post was made by her. After receiving a positive reply, they agreed to travel to Liujiagou together next Monday.

More outrageous is still behind, less than two days, the company's leaders called her to the office, asked her last week in the countryside experience, it happened that the company was ready to carry out a tourism activity this Sunday, after several leaders discussed together, and finally decided to come to the countryside, let Zhao Weihong first arrange the accommodation of the company's employees.

When the leader spoke, Zhao Weihong naturally had to comply, and when she came out of the office, she immediately called her father with some excitement and told him about the company's organization of a rural tour, and asked him to tell the people in the village in advance to vacate the house and pay 100 per night for accommodation.

Liu Junhao was naturally happy to do such a good thing, and immediately told Liu Guangju about it, Liu Guangju didn't believe it at first, so he ran to Professor Zhao to confirm it again and again before contacting all households, so that families with spare houses would pick up the houses and prepare to welcome the arrival of people in the city on Saturday.

However, the impact of Zhao Weihong's post is far more than that, this week has been a succession of many people in the city to inquire about the location of Liujiagou, Zhao Weihong wrote the route clearly, many people feel that if they want to know how delicious the pears are, it is better to taste them themselves, and they have driven their own cars to the village and spent the night at the villagers' homes.

The villagers are also willing to entertain, these city people give money generously, a home-cooked farmhouse meal can get dozens of yuan, the materials are planted in their own fields, those fish are not worth much, there are many in the big weir pond, just fish for half an hour, you can get a few fish, some even come to fish with their own fishing gear.

Most of these people in the city are coming to the countryside for the first time, and they are new to everything, and they are all interested in taking pictures of wild flowers, wild grasses and wild fruits that are not strange to rural people, and then picking a few to taste, and even bringing back large bags and small bags.

In particular, the people in the wild orchid city were more interested, and they dug up one or two plants, carefully wrapped them in soil, and prepared to get them back for planting.

There are many wild orchids in Daqingshan, and traces of wild orchids can be found everywhere in the ravines, streams, and mountain streams. These orchids are really wild, although they are not a precious species, but they absorb the aura of the mountains, and they are particularly watery.

Many people have even become interested in farming, and they have to help other farmers grow crops. Rural people are simple, although they know that this group of urban people are not good at planting, they still generously let them lose their seeds.

Of course, more often than not, the villagers introduced this group of people to Liu Junhao's yard and let them see the strangeness, the dozens of pounds of big fire heads, and the old turtle with the word longevity, made them amazed.

There are many people who want to buy the old turtle fire head back, Liu Junhao refuses all, and now these two things have become Liujiagou's signboard, almost everyone comes to visit it, and then take a few photos.

On Saturday, two buses came to Liujiagou, with a total of more than 40 people, and the leader was Zhao Weihong, because they had already been connected, and each family was divided into two or three people, but it was not crowded.

Zhao Weihong deliberately arranged several leaders to eat in Liu Junhao's courtyard, and the authentic farmhouse dishes were very delicious, which naturally made this group of people happy.

During the chat, many people expressed the idea of planting some land in the countryside, and also wanted to buy a piece of land here: "We all have cars, we can come on Sundays, grow some vegetables in the field, produce and sell them, and if you can't finish eating, you can give them to relatives and friends......

This made Liu Junhao's heart move, and he immediately discussed it with Liu Guangju, at first Liu Guangju thought that his brain was burned out, and this group of city people would honestly farm in the countryside? But after Liu Junhao's analysis, he immediately nodded and agreed, and asked people to open up more than 20 acres of wasteland by the river, and then set up a pergola for rent.

I didn't expect that once it was launched, it was popular, and there were people from the city who didn't live here to taste fresh, and it was not expensive to get a piece of land, and 700 yuan a year was not expensive, which was completely acceptable.

Doing farm work is not an easy thing, sprinkling seeds to turn the soil, fertilizing, weeding, and harvesting in season, but this group of people in the city does not care, or fishing is better than fish, there are large tracts of green mountains and green waters, the experience of their own hands is a strong rural interest, giving people an indescribable enjoyment, which can not be enjoyed in the busy life of the city, more than a month, the twenty or thirty acres of land sorted out on the river beach are contracted out, and it is often seen that there are cars driving to Liujiagou every three or five times.

In Liujiagou, the annual income of one acre of land is about 3,000 yuan, but this contract can be "sold" for 7,000 yuan a year, and the economic benefits have doubled without planting it himself, and he immediately instructed the villagers to open up 30 acres of wasteland.

The wisdom of the masses is infinite, and with the increasing number of people who come to the village for tourism, some villagers are optimistic about the opportunity and open several farmhouse restaurants in the village to entertain this group of city people.

Liu Junhao's yellow eel is also sold with the arrival of this group of people in the city, and the word of mouth is after a hundred rings, the people who come here have eaten his yellow eel and recommend it to their relatives and friends, and as a result, people who come to Liujiagou are named to eat his yellow eel and even bring two catties when they go back.

As a result, Liu Junhao sold the yellow eel without leaving home, two catties today, three catties tomorrow, although they are all small money, but the water is long, and he actually sold two or three thousand yuan in a month.

He can bear to live idle like this, but Professor Zhao has been busy all his life, even when he goes to the countryside, he can't be idle, and when he sees that the village has planted corn and soybeans and other autumn harvest crops, he is also anxious, and asks where Liu Junhao's land is, Liu Junhao's several acres of land, all of which were planted by him with pepper, cumin and other crops, these things are either perennial or annual, and there is no need to clean up at all, how can there be spare land for him to plant.

So Professor Zhao planted all the vegetables in the yard behind his house, such as cabbage, peppers, loofahs, pumpkins, gourds, etc., as long as they could find seeds, they all planted them in one go, and even bought more than 20 half-sized hens in the town at his own expense and raised them in the yard.

An old man in his fifties and sixties is still so energetic, Liu Junhao is embarrassed to be idle, and follows behind to help. He mainly went to the town to buy half a catty of autumn watermelon seeds, and then sprinkled it around the corner, and then stopped caring about it.
